PLEDGE TODAY: Music project to save mountains needs your support
Posted May 18, 2011 in Curbing Pollution, Environmental Justice, Health and the Environment
Here's a really fun way to help stop mountaintop removal and support homegrown music: pledge to help fund a new music video.
New York based "metrobilly" band 2/3 Goat is saving mountains! They've made the fight to end mountaintop removal their official cause. Band member Annalyse McCoy hails from eastern Kentucky and knows whereof she speaks. And as they tour around the country, 2/3 Goat is spreading the word about what mountaintop removal is doing to Appalachia. They've even recorded a truly beautiful song, "Stream of Conscience," on the theme.
We're proud to have 2/3 Goat as part of Music Saves Mountains, and now you can help the band produce a high-quality music video to accompany "Stream of Conscience." If they receive enough pledges through Kickstarter by May 31, they'll begin producing the video.
Right now they're about $2,500 short of their goal of $5,500 needed to move forward. Pledge a few bucks and you can help make this happen. Then, thanks to you, there will be a new piece of art in the world--and one more much-needed tool to touch hearts around the country. You'll even get some special rewards from the band.
I just became a backer of this project, and I hope you will too. Go to the project's Kickstarter page today to see project details and learn how to pledge. (Seriously, it's super easy. You can even pay through your Amazon account if you have one.)

Thanks for supporting this project and, more importantly, an end to "Mountain Bombing". The people of the central Appalachias are dying from the poisoning of the waters this ungodly type of coal extraction produces. It gives me hope that folks like you and the NRDC stand strong for a seemingly forgotten people of this Nation. Bless you..
